Republicans have control of pretty much the whole south, just a few decades ago, it was all dominated by Democrats.

I do think it's funny that they all deny it on here when it's proven history.
For those who fail to recognize this, may they be reminded that Ken Mehlman - their party chair admitted to its divisive history and here's a (fairly lengthy) article about its history:

Isn't it ironic that they counted slaves as 1/10th of a person before it was abolished and in Florida in 2000 you were 10 times more likely to have your vote not count if you were black. I'm starting to think we should have just let the South become their own nation.

All a politician has to do is murmur tax increase in Alabama and they are dead ducks. I've never heard anything about race though.

The average Republican is aware that this is a lie.

Yes they are. I lived in Alabama. I've not met a single one of them who didn't USE that racism to get into office. Also, I haven't met a single white politician in Alabama who wasn't biggotted. (By the way, I'm white.)

of course they're not.. Republicans are a bunch of racists as it is.. They could care less, because they're too busy commiting genocide in the middle east
